marigold, :)

10:25 am

periwinkle

I have 22 T words.

10:28 am

testing

tourmalinity - Unfortunately, some of the online solvers do not use the enable dictionary, so they don't have the same word list as babble. They are usually close on the word count, but not exact.

For this puzzle the enable solver gives 114 words. The differences are that there are actually 15xR and 58x4. Also, there's a typo in the stats below. There are actually 31xT.

10:30 am

periwinkle

Bummer, here I thought I was doing so well with the T words. Will keep searching for more :).

10:49 am
